The DIP lists the benefits but does not mention any cons.

A con that I can see is that it is violating the 'fail fast' 
principle. By silently replacing data the developer will be 
presented with a probably-hard-to-debug problem later down the 
application lifecyle (probably in an unrelated area), wasting 
developer time.
